From Probation to Purpose: The Hakeem McFarlane Story

Monica sits down with author and community leader Hakeem McFarlane for an unforgettable conversation about resilience, redemption, and the power of choosing yourself—no matter where you come from.

Hakeem opens up about growing up with a mother battling addiction, navigating a 20-year probation sentence, and the pivotal moment when he decided he would not be defined by his circumstances. Through faith, inner work, and an unshakeable commitment to becoming who he was meant to be, Hakeem transformed his pain into purpose.

Today, he leads the Choose Yourself Community, empowering others to rise above hardship, reclaim their identity, and walk boldly into their future.

This is a raw, real, and deeply inspiring story of darkness, healing, and the courage it takes to rewrite your own narrative.
